The new GS Adventure features updated bodywork, a larger fuel tank than a standard F800GS’s – 2.1 gallons more for a total of 6.3 gallons -, a larger windscreen, a 10mm taller bench seat for a total of 890mm (but also available the free optional low seat height option), hand protectors, an adjustable, reinforced rear brake lever, enduro footrests, a pannier rack which also functions as a tank protection bar, as well as a stronger rear subframe which has been modified to support that larger under-seat fuel tank. BMW claims the larger tank will extend the F800GS’ range by 75 miles, giving it a total of 220-mile.
BMW says the F800GS Adventure’s fully fueled weight of 504.8 pounds is 33 pounds heavier than the standard F800GS’s. Like all current BMW models, ABS is standard equipment, but both Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) systems are options.
